Creating a
Personal,
Fair and
Diverse NHS
#pfd
What are we trying
to achieve?
A vibrant network of
champions, who are
committed to taking some
action, no matter how small,
to help create a more
Personal, Fair and Diverse
NHS.
Supports the NHS Constitution
The NHS Constitution
establishes the principles and
values of the NHS in England.
The Personal, Fair and
Diverse campaign helps
bring the core values of
the Constitution to life.
How does it do that?
PFD is a Social Movement
• Empowers people at every level
• Encourages people to act
• Sharing of good practice
• Everyone welcome to join
• Embeds PFD into organisations
• Brings people together

The way organisations
‘do diversity’ has to change
What they have been doing has had limited success.


Traditional approaches have raised general
awareness amongst employers and employees.
But they have also raised anxiety, highlighted
differences and generally led to cultures where
people are unsure, or afraid, to honestly talk about
difference.

Where we
are now...
• Launched in November 2011
• Around 3,500 Champions spread
across the country
• Currently have 10 NHS CEOs
signed up as campaign
ambassadors – set to grow to 12
in February 2013
• Received over 1,000 examples of
how staff have championed
fairness and diversity
• Growing interest from other sectors
3,500 Champions across England
51% - North
19% - Midlands
PFD Champion: Sir
David Nicholson,
Chief Executive of the
English National
Health Service
16% - London
14% - South
So, what might
champions be doing?
• Speaking up when something
doesn’t seem right
• Respecting differences
• Joining their trust’s Equality &
Diversity network
• Finding out more about diversity,
and how patients from different
cultures may be disadvantaged
Examples of what champions are doing…
“I modify the
assessments and
interventions I engage
in with people
according to their
differing cognitive
abilities.”
“I set up network groups for staff
relating to diversity, LGBT and
disability. By raising the profile of
diversity, departments are
starting to identify new ways of
improving the service to
patients.”
“As a paramedic I visited
mosques, churches and a
synagogue to learn about
how best to enter such
buildings in an
emergency.”
"I have been visiting local
BME community groups to
engage with them regarding
their health and well-being.”
PFD - strengthened by nine
Ambassador Trusts
University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust
Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Partnership NHS Trust
Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Birmingham Women’s NHS Foundation Trust
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
South Essex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
How are they helping to embed
the PFD vision in the NHS?
Some of these trusts had great E&D credentials and
were chosen because of the innovative way they
approached things.
These ambassador trusts have now signed up to:
•
•
•
•
Generate more urgency for national improvement
Create a campaign coalition
Recruit more champions locally
Share their PFD Journey - through either a conference,
live event, online video or a meeting
• Engage with their neighbouring health economy
Sussex Partnership –
the ‘Deep Dive’ trust
Committed to deliver the same as an ambassador
trust, with the added exception of doing more PFD
activity externally.
Sussex Partnership were specially chosen for their
achievement of being the first NHS Foundation Trust
to make the top ten in the Stonewall Equality Index –
coming in at fourth place.

The role of NHS Employers
NHS Employers will continue to support the PFD network
through the sharing of ideas and best practice.
We're also best placed to be a national voice, spark debate and
come up with other creative ways to address some of the most
pressing equality issues in the NHS.
The role of NHS Employers

• Growing the PFD campaign across the public sector,
including the Fire and Rescue Service
• Co-ordinate another NHS-wide Equality week, (May 13th)
• Supporting the Equality Act 2010
• Collating info for the Public Sector Equality Duty Review
